re: Lebron: Those (fouls) weren't basketball plays

It's like Shaq in the early 00s

The difference for me is that the hard fouls Shaq took weren't dangerous and he wasn't in jeopardy of being seriously injured. The type of fouls LeBron takes almost always leave him in a vulnerable position. He easily could have torn an ACL with the way he came down after Taj hit him high while he was in the air. Players are constantly going in high on LeBron, and it's incredibly dangerous. And sooner or later he's going to to tear a knee.

And then we're all going to be pissed about how could the refs have let them do this for so long. Blah blah blah. It's all very predicable.
